I must say that your list is remarkable…
My iPod is host to MC Paul Barman, Pizzicato Five and Too Short as well.
I have MC Paul Barman from back in the MP3.com heydey when his downloads were featured there.
I have Pizzicato Five from the Sushi 3003 and 4004 compilations – plus an album from Japan whose label is in all Japanese.
Too Short was big in Oakland when I was a student at UC Berkeley in the late 1980s. I had a friend who grew up with Too Short (Todd Shaw) and introduced me.
I have many favorites, (Get In Where you Fit In isn’t one of them). “Life is Too Short” is his best album, IMO.
Here’s “I Ain’t Trippin’”
I was told not long ago
Too Short don’t stop that rap!
Now everytime I grab the mic
I rock you just like that
8 years ago when I started to rap
I use to sell tapes everywhere
It was me and my homeboy freddy b, y’all
Kickin’ it like big players
Everybody loved my rap like 100 dollar bills
I rocked houseparties on 98th
Even rocked in the 69 ville
Might find me on the mic at Hot Lips’ house
Or at the Eastbay Draggin’ spot
All the 85 boys
With their hands in the air
Screaming Too Short just don’t stop!
Like Royal Park, like Plymouth Rock
First Street and Sunnyside
Like Sobrante Park and Brookefield
East Oakland, yeah, that’s right
5 years ago I continued to rock
And if you haven’t yet heard my name
It was all in the papers, on the evening news
I was stone cold in the game
Around that time a friend of mine
My homeboy Lionel B
Hooked me up like this, y’all
On stage just rockin’ the beat
Some say I have a dirty mind
Sometimes that might be true
But these are just some dirty times
I ain’t trippin’ on you…
